“…After completing their sentence, prisoners will return to freedom and the community; this is why prison public health is an integral part of overall public health. In our study, the risk reduction policy would also be useful for body modifications: piercing and tattooing for women, penile implants – bouglous – for men (Parriault et al , 2019). Indeed, in view of the frequency and the often unhygienic conditions in which these practices are carried out, they have the potential to be one of the main entry points for infections – including STIs (Jürgens, 2007).…”

“…In Canada and Luxembourg, intra-prison tattoo parlors were opened, providing prisoners with sterile equipment and prevention information, particularly concerning viral transmission risks (HBV, HBV, HIV) via “wild” tattoos. These measures would seem relevant in French Guiana, where despite a vaccination against HBV offered to every newcomer to the prison, prevalence of virus was around 4% in 2014 (Parriault et al , 2019).…”

Purpose Incarcerated women are a vulnerable population in terms of sexual and reproductive health. In French Guiana, most incarcerated women come from unsafe environments and are incarcerated because of drug trafficking. Medical follow-up processes used in prison (medical assessment on arrival, and then two half-days per week upon request but without an obstetrician-gynecologist) does not allow for a thorough assessment of the impact of incarceration on women prisoners’ health to take place. In the absence of data, the purpose of this study was to describe incarcerated women’s experiences in relation to sexual and reproductive health. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews were conducted among French-speaking adult women who had been incarcerated for at least four months in a French Guianan prison. Menstruation, contraception, pregnancy, abortion, sexually transmitted infections and sexuality were described by means of interpretative phenomenological analysis. Findings A total of 14 women were interviewed. They suffered from menstrual cycle disorders, poor hygiene and menstrual insecurity. They appeared to have emotionally disinvested sexuality. However, intra-prison sexual activity existed for some (masturbation, conjugal prison visits, homosexual intercourse between fellow prisoners). Homosexual relations were a source of discrimination. Being pregnant while incarcerated was viewed negatively. A lack of knowledge about sexual and reproductive health and high-risk behaviors such as piercing and tattooing practices were widespread. Originality/value Incarceration is a vulnerable time for women’s sexual and reproductive health. Sexual activity exposes women to risks and discrimination that should be taken into account in a multidisciplinary approach adapted to the prison environment.
